Hello everyone! It’s Friday which means another blissful weekend is upon us. You shall hear no complaints from me. It’s been a long week and I’ve been recovering from my wrist injury. It still gets pretty painful but I’m doing my best to be more ergonomically correct. Since I’ve been blogging, I can honestly say I get more questions about my laptop than I do my site. The most popular question I’ll receive (once or twice a day) is “How did you customize your desktop? Do you have a Dell?” I kid you not, people always ask me if I have a Dell. I don’t know if Dell is viewed upon being the only customizable laptop in terms of PC’s, but I always get asked if I have a Dell. I think people are even more shocked (or disgusted) that I have a Gateway. So I’ve taken this grand opportunity discuss my laptop with you.

Neela (which she is named) was delivered to me in October 2007. She’s a  Gateway MT4322 with a 13″ Ultrabright Widescreen.  I had no idea I was receiving a laptop until my mother came home with it. Of course, it was meant to be for “work purposes” but come on, I needed a computer of my own. Since my old Dell (have no idea what the model was. I got in December 04) had blissfully burned itself out more than four times in the first year of ownership, I had let it collect dust in my room. It didn’t help that at the time, Dell had recalled many laptops because they were exploding. My old Dell actually burned my leg!
